3.1. Potato discs
Potato discs were fried in oil from an initial moisture content of 326%2 to 202% at 175 C and to 177% at 190 C. This clearly shows that higher the temperature of frying oil, greater the moisture loss as expected. The final fat content of the fried potatoes were higher at higher frying temperature. The fat content of the products fried at 175 and 190 C were 66.2% and 78.9%, respectively.
